Abstract

A system, method and network architecture for facilitating remote care delivery involving a patient having an implantable medical device (IMD). Upon establishing a remote care session between a patient controller device and a clinician programmer, wherein the clinician and the patient are remotely located with respect to each other, telehealth consultation may be provided to the patient by the clinician via an audiovisual (AV) communications session channel. Responsive to determining that the patient requires remote therapy, one or more (re)programming instructions may be provided to the patient's IMD via a remote therapy session channel of the remote care session using an integrated graphical user interface (GUI) that may include suitable GUI controls for AV communications, remote session control as well as the remote programming of the patient's IMD.
